That and if I heard a lie, I would call it a lie. Literally, the place was falling apart in a month. He started dismantling and canceling project we had all been working on for months.
Plus, he and I did not get along. When he was at the smaller hospital he fought me on every technology project, to the point he would tell his people they didn't have to do what I told them and almost got him fired. After that everything was more him working behind the scenes to undermine or sabotage projects, which was one of the things that got him "retired" the first time.
As soon as they named him CEO I knew I was done. I started sending resumes, etc. out that day. It just took him 5 months and 300k in consultants to convince the board to let him fire me. They found 3 things that were not following best practices across 12 facilities, one I was told no on the funding to fix, the other two I could say I had used a better option and it was a matter of opinion. They also said that my BS degree that I had just earned was not enough to hold that high of a position. (I was CIO before I completed my degree while working 60 hours a week)
The same consultant group agreed to cover my position and find a replacement for the small sum of another 2-300K.
Ok, now the story is a little longer.
